GoKawiilOpenAI to merge ChatGPT and Codex usage limits, test combined Chat-Work interface
OpenAI told subscribers by email that it will begin testing a unified Chat and Work experience in ChatGPT for a small group of users, letting them move from casual conversation to complex tasks like building websites or presentations without switching modes. The company is also merging usage allowances for ChatGPT and Codex into a single shared limit, though 'Unlimited Instant' conversations won't count against it, and Pro users have reportedly seen Work and Code usage limits doubled. Codex will stay separate within the desktop app for now.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Combining Chat and Work suggests OpenAI wants to simplify ChatGPT into one continuous workspace rather than separate modes, which could make advanced features more accessible to casual users. Merging usage allowances across ChatGPT and Codex may also be a way for OpenAI to simplify billing and resource management, though it could mean heavier Codex users eat into their chat allowance faster. The rollout to only a small test group indicates OpenAI is still evaluating how the change affects usage patterns before a wider release.
- OpenAI is testing a merged Chat and Work interface in ChatGPT for select users.
- ChatGPT and Codex will soon share one combined usage allowance, with Unlimited Instant chats exempted.
- Pro users have reportedly already seen Work and Code usage limits doubled, while Codex stays separate in the desktop app.
